The Idaho Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bela Kovacs (Kootenai County Assessor) by awarding him all costs and attorney fees on appeal. This case stemmed from the Kootenai County Commissioners (Brooks, Filios and Duncan) reducing Kovacs' salary by half and also denying him the 6% cost of living increase in 2023. The district court ruled in Kovacs favor and now the Idaho Supreme Court has ruled in his favor again.
